A phone has no charging indicator and does not respond to its power button. Which is the best initial test?
- A
Immediately reset the phone to factory settings.
- B
Try a known-good outlet, charger, and cable, then allow time for charging.
- C
Assume the display has failed and replace it.
- D
Repeatedly press the power button while disconnecting and reconnecting the original charger.
When testing competing causes, what principle helps you identify which change affected the symptoms?
If a storage device may be failing, prioritize before running repairs or repeated tests.
A laptop display goes black after a dock is connected, but audio continues. Which test best helps determine whether the docked path is involved?
- A
Replace the laptop immediately because the internal display is certainly defective.
- B
Change several display settings and replace the monitor at the same time.
- C
Connect the monitor directly to the laptop and compare that result with the docked setup.
- D
Assume the intermittent external monitor rules out the dock.
True or false: If a file-system check completes successfully, that proves the physical drive is healthy.
- A
True
- B
False
After a suspected repair, select all actions that help verify the problem is actually resolved.
- A
Repeat the original task under the conditions that triggered the problem.
- B
Close the repair as soon as the error message disappears.
- C
Check related functions and see whether the result holds after a relevant restart or reconnection.
- D
Skip retesting if the device restarted successfully.
What do you call a verified-working cable, charger, or adapter used to test whether the original component is faulty?
When several users lose access to a shared folder, check whether their computers use .
An external drive repeatedly disconnects with its original cable, but the disconnects stop with a known-good cable. What is the best-supported conclusion?
- A
Treat the drive as physically healthy because the issue is intermittent.
- B
Suspect the original connection if repeated disconnects stop with a known-good cable.
- C
Replace both the drive and computer before gathering more evidence.
- D
Assume any successful repair utility run rules out hardware failure.
Several users cannot access one shared folder, while local applications work. Select all tests that help distinguish a network-path problem from a problem specific to that resource.
- A
Test access from a device on a different connection.
- B
Reset every affected computer before comparing results.
- C
Check whether unrelated internet services work.
- D
Assume the shared resource is working because local applications work.
A fault returns after a repair seemed successful. What should you do next, and how should you use the earlier test results?
Several users can reach unrelated internet services, but none can open one shared folder. Which investigation is most appropriate next?
- A
Investigate the shared resource and its access path.
- B
Reset every device on the network.
- C
Replace each computer's network adapter.
- D
Conclude the problem is resolved because internet access works.
A laptop display works when the monitor is connected directly, but goes black when the same monitor is connected through a dock. Which part of the setup should you investigate first?
- A
Replace the laptop immediately
- B
Investigate the dock, its cable, or its connection
- C
Assume the monitor is faulty even if it works directly
- D
Reset the laptop’s network settings
A computer slows down only during video calls, but seems normal when idle. Which test is most useful for investigating the slowdown?
- A
Rely on an idle check because it avoids stressing the system
- B
Reproduce the video-call condition and observe whether the fault returns
- C
Replace the computer’s display without further testing
- D
Change several settings at once and see whether the fault disappears
A phone remains unresponsive after being connected to a known-good outlet, charger, and cable and given time to charge. What is an appropriate next test before concluding that service may be needed?
- A
Assume the display has failed and replace it
- B
Try the manufacturer’s recommended force-restart procedure for that model
- C
Insert an object into the charging port to clear it
- D
Keep using the original charger and cable without further testing
An external drive continues to report errors when connected through different known-good cables and ports, with recurring read failures. What does this evidence most strongly suggest?
- A
The original cable is confirmed to be faulty
- B
The drive itself warrants investigation, especially if read failures recur
- C
The computer’s display is causing the storage errors
- D
The drive is proven healthy because it connects to another port
A repair is verified as successful as soon as the device restarts, even if the original task that triggered the fault has not been tested again.
- A
True
- B
False
You make several changes at once and the symptoms disappear, so you cannot tell which change helped. In a well-controlled troubleshooting test, how many changes should you make at a time?
After repairing a fault, what should you repeat under the conditions that first caused the failure?
